Abstract
A method for error correction and a system. The method may include opening a selected row of a memory bank out of multiple memory banks of a dynamic memory module; and while the selected row is open: (i) receiving selected data sub-blocks that are targeted to be written to the selected row, (ii) calculating selected error correction code sub-blocks that are related to the selected data sub-blocks, (iii) caching the selected error correction code sub-blocks in a cache memory that differs from the dynamic memory module and (iv) writing, to the selected row, the selected error correction code sub-blocks.
